📝 Preparation Steps
1
Warm the olive oil in a large, wide pot or deep sauté pan over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic, anchovies and red pepper flakes, then cook until the garlic softens and the anchovies melt into the oil, about ⏱️ 2 minutes.
2
Pour in the white wine and simmer for ⏱️ 1-2 minutes, then add the tomatoes and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally for about ⏱️ 10-15 minutes or until slightly thickened.
3
Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the mussels. Cover and let them steam until they open, which can take anywhere from 3 to ⏱️ 6 minutes, depending. It helps to shake the pan a few times to help them cook evenly.
